Tlie Market. 



We have settled down from the great 

 rush of Easter to a good steady trade. 

 All seem very well satisfied with the 

 business of the past week, agreeing that 

 it has been more than was expected. 

 Prices have gone back to what they were 

 previous to Easter. Carnations are still 

 in very large supply, but as everybody 

 seems to want them the growers and 

 dealers have both worked them off very 

 well indeed. There are still large quan- 

 tities of bulbous stock, and it begins to 

 go slowly. Boses are, as always, in good 

 demand. In the whole we are having a 

 very satisfactory business. I must espe- 

 cially mention the funeral orders of the 

 past week, as they have been very much 

 in evidence, both in number and size. 



Florists' Qub. 



Last Thursday evening our club de- 

 voted its regular session to bowling, in 

 which a great deal of interest is being 

 taken. Jt looks as if we would be able 

 to send a very good team to Dayton this 

 summer. _ 



The penny packets of seeds prepared 

 by the club have about all been distri- 

 buted to the 'school children. 



The ijext meeting will be Tuesday 

 evening, May ,1. 



Various Notes. 



Graff Bros, have largely increased 

 their retail business lately. This firm 

 feels that the demand for cut flowers is 

 increasing very rapidly in this city. Mr. 

 Graff thinks a third more flowers are 

 being sold than a year ago. There is no 

 question but that the chrysanthemum 

 show of last autumn helped the trade 

 wonderfuih'. Zero. 



Easter trade was very good. Palm 

 Sunday there were hundreds of visitors 

 at J. R. Hellenthal's greenhouses to see 

 his large display of Easter stock. His 

 230 ramblers were well flowered and 

 well shaped plants, as Mr. Hellenthal 

 finds it pays to grow some large plants; 

 there is always a good demand for good 

 stock to sell at $2 to $4..50. Longiflorum 

 lilies were extra good this season; per- 

 fect foliage, large flowers and plants a 

 good size, three feet and over. Hydran- 

 geas were exceptionally fine, with six to 

 eleven heads of bloom. They brought 

 $2 to $5 per plant. A fine lot of red 

 peonies came in just right and made a 

 very attractive Avindow display in his 

 store on South High street. Baby Ram-
